HTC Vive Consumer Edition First Impressions: Bulky, but Awesome

After a little less than a week with the HTC Vive, I have to say that the new virtual-reality headset from HTC and Valve can be disorienting. It's hard to set up. It can be a little wonky. But it's also completely amazing.

HTC Vive Review: A Beautiful Machine with No Good Games

Virtual reality has always been an expensive hobby. Even in 1995, when the only VR option was the Nintendo Virtual Boy , it was hard to justify spending money on the device. It was uncomfortable to wear. It didn't have any good games. And it was a...

HTC Vive review: An experience that’s out of this world

We've been waiting for the consumer version of HTC Vive – the company's virtual reality (VR) system – to land in our living rooms for some time. It's hard to describe the heightened feeling of excitement that accompanies the launch of a brand new...
